Using Prediction to Accelerate Coherence Protocols
Most large shared-memory multiprocessors use directory protocols to keep per-processor caches coherent. Some memory references in such systems, however, suffer long latencies for ...

So Many States, So Little Time: Verifying Memory Coherence in the Cray X1
This paper investigates a complexity-effective technique for verifying a highly distributed directory-based cache coherence protocol. We develop a novel approach called “witnes...

CC-Buddy: an adaptive framework for maintaining cache coherency using peers
In this paper, we propose a framework called CC-Buddy, for maintaining dynamic data coherency in peer-to-peer environment. Working on the basis of peer heterogeneity in data coher...

A Power-Aware Prediction-Based Cache Coherence Protocol for Chip Multiprocessors
Snoopy cache coherence protocols broadcast requests to all nodes, reducing the latency of cache to cache transfer misses at the expense of increasing interconnect power. We propos...

Speculative supplier identification for reducing power of interconnects in snoopy cache coherence protocols
In this work we reduce interconnect power dissipation in Symmetric Multiprocessors or SMPs. We revisit snoopy cache coherence protocols and reduce unnecessary interconnect activit...
